About this game
"She Is Always Right Beside You"
Due to his father’s circumstances, a young boy, Saku, finds himself visiting the rural village of Kibuse with him.
There, he ended up captivating a mysterious Ghost that dwells in the land—Hachishakusama, the eight-feet-tall urban legend.
From that moment on, his summer begins to change.
She is always by his side, never leaving.
Is it fear… or something else?
Trapped in days with no escape, what choice will the boy make?
This is a heartwarming yet terrifying Japanese horror game.
